Evil Power Will Pick Me Up, Poem by Liza Sud

Evil Power Will Pick Me Up,

Evil power will pick me up,
and will bring to you late at night,
and I will woo you till my life
is not finish in you, inside.

Because for me - you are a bird,
like a mother to young greenhorn -
so that to spread apart your wings
and touch feathers between the ribs.

How may I remain a bird,
if my spirit is bound by flesh?
Not of mermaids I dream today,
water meekness - is in their tail.

But your feathers - are softness, flight
out from them - as a base- my height,
so that to rush out pleasanteries
musical fire and syllable.

I was boorish, surly, churlish,
I was fiery, sharp like sparkles,
you caught night sparks when I was crushing,
and has made Oriental carpet.

All is good to you, you're my goddess.
Any wind for you - is YOUR weather.
Any wind makes you much more glorious,
and you'll soak me inside like present.

***
Злая сила меня подхватит,
принесет к тебе поздней ночью,
и я буду тебя сватать,
пока жить в тебе не закончу.

Ибо ты для меня - птица,
словно мать птенцам желторотым -
чтобы крылья твои раздвинуть,
между ребрами пух трогать.

Как возможно остаться птицей,
если плотью мой дух окован?
Не русалка сегодня снится,
ее хвост - водяная робость, -

Твои перья - полет и мягкость,
и мой рост из них, как основа,
для того, чтоб неслась приятность
музыкальным огнем и слогом.

Я упрямой была и хлесткой,
как огонь, как острые блестки,
Ты поймала все искры ночью
и соткала ковер Восточный.

Тебе все хорошо, ты - богиня.
Любой ветер - ТВОЯ стихия.
И с ним слава твоя - все больше,
как подарок, меня вберешь ты.

The imagery in your poem is so detailed I'm overwhelmed by its density. I noticed the word EVIL on the first stanza, and the word GOOD in the last, and wonder if this is a passage from Evil to Good? I'm unclear about the actions taking place and their moral significance. Is this a confession of sin? Is the meeting that Evil takes you to a sinful indulgence with another? // I read it again, for a fourth time, but I just cannot piece together the strands of imagery into a coherent narrative. I can't follow the bird and fish imagery, except to say they are creatures native to a environments alien to us - air and water - and the speaker is bird-like (?) and the other fish-like so they can't connect (?) . It may be that this imagery is so concrete that I can't see what is obvious, but I'm miffed. HELP.
